I think AGS needs a rider who can throw him down until they are ready to push the button. No knock on JV, I just feel that GoGo, Cornelio or Prado even are better fits for him than JV.

Wow, that is a prediction right there. I'd say neither will be in the superfecta.

wow those are both bold predictions, i would be shocked if any given saturday runs in the top 5 on derby day, and i would not be shocked if street sense were to win

I'm going to say Scat Daddy will run dead last because this prediction thing is awesom.

You know you can bet who runs last in the race.

Fast pace, SS saves every inch of ground and an absolute perfect trip and he wins by about an inch. AGS was closer to the fast pace and lost more ground. AGS probably ran the superior race. So how do you see one possibly winning and the other not cracking the top 5?

What you say is true, but you could also look at the race this way, AGS had a race under him, and it was on that track. SS was coming off a long layoff and may have more room to improve off that effort than AGS. I am not saying I see it that way, but that would be a reasonable way to look at it.

Maybe time will prove me wrong but I'm thinking the TB Dby will prove to be a "negative" key race.

SS has some very big efforts to back up this layoff. I think the quote above is the way most people look at it.

I still am wondering if people agree with Jerry Bailey saying he thinks this race may have been too much for Street Sense? Kind of like he would have wished the horse would have not put so much effort in down the stretch and run a comfy second.
